      Traps Drums A400 Portable Acoustic Drum Set (491112)
Availability:  


The portable kit that feels and sounds like a regular drum kit.

The A400 from Traps Drums is a portable drum kit that feels and sounds like a regular drum kit. The drums are constructed from high-quality, durable A.B.S. and are fitted with Remo heads, steel counter hoops, and are tuned with the traditional multi-screw tuning system. This also allows the use of pads for silent practicing. The rack system that the drums and hardware fit to is made from substantial steel tubing which means that everything stays exactly where it's put when the kit is set up and doesn't move.Geoff Nicholls of Rhythm Magazine asked in 2005: "Can a shell-less kit ever stand in for the real thing?" He concluded: "Shell-less kits are a viable alternative and Traps A400 is easily the best so far."Rack systemThe A400 rack-mounting system is made from sturdy large-diameter chromed steel tubing. The kit can easily be set up for either left- or right-handed players using the supplied tough ABS multifunctional joints.When set up, the rack is very strong and, once fitted with the supplied four large rubber feet, stays where it's placed and doesn't move. This provides a noticeable improvement in playability compared to other portable drum sets in this price bracket.Top Quality HardwareThe A400 comes fitted with quality hardware as standard. This includes hi-hat and kick drum pedals that are both rugged and free moving. Also included is a snare basket, boom cymbal arms (which can be slid into the frame for easy storage).The hardware is both reliable and distinctive with black-painted footplates and a "Traps" embossed seat squab. They also feature quality chain drives, memory locks, expansion springs and clutches.12" snare drumThe A400 12" snare drum has a very crisp sound as a result of the high-quality ABS molding combined with the chrome-plated steel counter hoops, Remo Ambassador heads, and 8 square-headed tension screws. This all results in a snare that's easy to tune and capable of cutting rim shots and thick X-stick sounds. The drum also features a sturdy throw-off with a positive feel and a knob at the opposite side of the drum for adjusting the stretch in the snares. This means that the A400 snare has the additional ability to produce Latin/world percussion sounds or to function as an additional tom.10", 12", and 14" tomsThe A400 toms are manufactured from a tough ABS molding which is further strengthened by a triple-flange counter hoop, then to complete the toms, they are fitted with top-quality Remo Pinstripe heads. As with all the A400 drums, an industry-standard multi-screw tuning system is used.All this attention to detail results in a quality sound never before heard in a portable kit.20" kick drumThe A400 20" kick drum is an uncompromising double-headed design fitted with a UT Powerstroke 3 drumhead on the back and Remo Ebony drumhead on the front printed with the Traps logo. It is also fitted with chrome-plated steel hoops.Its shell is made from a robust high-quality injection-molded A.B.S. fitted with custom dual-mounting points ideally suited to mounting in the A400 rack mount system. A strong metal plate is fitted to bottom of the rear counter hoop so that when the kick pedal is fitted, the beater strikes the head at the optimum position--top of the upstroke.Cymbals not included.

  • Amazing. But....

    As reviewed by Josh Diepenhorst on 4/15/2011

    I have owned this drumset for around 4 years and it has been my first set. This is great kit for beginners...the downsides are the cymbals, which are terrible. And also the toms are not deep enough and neither is the bass drum, but if u tune them correctly they will sound great. The upside of this set is how portable it is...literally I showed up to my gig late and I was the first one set up in 5 minutes. Overall it's a great product; the only thing is but new cymbals and u might want to but new heads.

  • Awesome set, unreliable hardware

    As reviewed by Johnny D on 5/11/2011

    I custom made an 8 peice set up. Bass drum has no "depth" to it. But with some inovation, and a good sound man, we fixed this. The clamps are ABS plastic. After 3 gigs, the nuts, which are molded into the clamps, started stripping out. I'm in the process of exchanging all the peices I repeadedly loosen and tighten in the process of set up / tear down, with Gibralter clamps. Other then this, everything elses is great! If you have a big set, and are tired of carrying all that stuff, but don't want to down size, this is a great way to go.

  • Traps drums surprising

    As reviewed by Tim Gardner on 2/11/2008

    Very cool set. Took a while to get the bass drum dampened to where I like it. Works great going from rehearsal to home and back with a very quick set up. Haven't tried them at a gig yet, but will have to mic the bass drum even if it's a small venue. Not much punch at all from that but the other drums tuned very nicely and the quick set up/tear down alone is worth the price rather than wasting rehearsal time.
